Diablo3

Mittwoch, den 13. Februar 2008

Diablo3 won´t be an all new game, because the previous parts of the game , part one and two, had to be respected while developing the new game. There´s such a big community playing and knowing the older games, that blizzard couldn´t change the whole thing. So only things like the interaction between environment and player have changed and also the use of life potions.

Especially the last named thing has changed radically, because you don´t have to use your inventory every time you want to heal yourself. Instead of the old system of healing, the new one in Diablo3 is based on dropping “life balls” from some enemies.

That means for the player, the bothersome collecting of those potions has an end. Sure the player has to collect potions but not in values like in part two, where half of the inventory was filled with them. Another new thing around diablo3 i, how you can change your situation within a battle using the enviroment. For example you can throw parts of a wall on your enemies to smash them, with using some of your special skills.

A great “plus” in diablo3 is the free turnable camera, to see your character from different angles and to see the beautifully made environment. Especially the environment was improved really hard with detailing it more than ever and its moving and influencing the gameplay. Also there are new, more interesting, traps in which your characters can tap withou thinking about.

Diablo3 items

In the last days some new videos and trailers appeared on youtube of the brand new game diablo3 that isn´t finished yet. The story of diablo3 will take place 20 years after the previous part of the game, diablo2. In the gameplay footages on youtube you can see the new/old character class of the barbarian and the whole new class of the witch doctor in action.

After introducing the new interface and some of the diablo3 items the whole new battle system is shown, which will be similiar to the old one, but with some exceptions concerning the life potions and the use of special abilities. In diablo3 there will be some new abilities that your character can learn to fight his enemies, but nothing really important has changend about the diablo3 items oder itemsets that improve your characters skills.

Only those two classes were shown in the footages by blizzard. The new class of the witch doctor is an effective spellcaster for long range battle and against lots of enemies. For example he can create pets to do his job, similar to the old necromancer, and summon locust swarms that attack hordes of monsters at one time. A very interesting fact is, that he can improve his pets with such spells like the locust swarm.

He can also deal damage to monsters with sacrificing useless pets in an area, so that makes im also a very effective fighter against hordes of enemies in diablo3. The diablo3 items will improve the characters skills more than usual and the effects caused by them will be shown very detailed at the enemy`s body. So stunnign or freezing will be a very funny effect to watch to.
